I liked The Punisher better. #ImWithHer

The West Wing was as much of a male power fantasy as The Punisher. Just for different audiences.

Yeah, this seems not true. If you support democracy, you don't vote for a wannabee dictator. #bidenharris2024

The unintentionally hilarious selection effect here is that "every moderate I know" turns out to be a category exclusively staffed by people more accurately described as "committed right-wing ideologues who until now found it unbecoming to acknowledge they've been firmly on the right."

When I was 12 I went to Danny DeVito’s New Year’s Eve party. I’d found some girls my age, but wanted my little sister to have fun, too. Then I saw this woman on the dance floor squat down to my sister’s height, say “Hi, what’s your name? I’m Shannen!” and take her by the hand to dance with her.

I am proudly voting for Joe Biden in November. He is not only a good president but a great one. #ridenwithBiden www.nytimes.com/2024/07/13/o...

There’s a presidential candidate who organized a coup on live TV and was recently convicted of dozens of felonies for something entirely separate, and the political system is demanding his opponent step down.

WRITING LIFE: Get Thee to a Writer’s Conference: How Attending Both Did and Did Not Change My Life by Lori D’Angelo | Hippocampus Magazinehippocampusmagazine.com "Like many new MFA grads, I had a lot of questions." -- Lori D'Angelo in her writing life column, "Get Thee to a Writer's Conference."

All technology has failed me this weekend. Back on my (new) phone. Having to re-install every single app is awful. So annoying.

This is just awful that some people and countries don't seem to care about public health. Didn't they learn anything from The Plague?

so great that Europe's doing this again with the diseases

It's a niche gripe, but I've always had a bit of a problem with the term 'elevated horror'. It seems to imply that horror (often a vibrant, powerful, progressive genre) needed to be polished up and made respectable. Bunk. Bunk I say.

I have some flash fiction up @major7mag.bsky.social. This one is called "Piano Man." Yes, it's after the Billy Joel song. All the pieces in this journal have to be named after a song. There can be no duplicates. Can't believe that this one wasn't already taken. #music #literaryjournals #flashfiction

I'm excited to share the cover for my book, The Monsters Are Here, which is coming out later this year from @emergejournal.bsky.social. For more info on the book, check out their website and order some books by some of the amazing writers they have published.

Oh wow. This is great to hear. I went to high school with two girls who had cystic fibrosis. Things might been different if this drug had been around then.

This story in the Atlantic is the best public facing write up of how transformative these drugs are that I have ever seen. Most folks following me know that my 9yo has cystic fibrosis, and ,before these drugs, his pancreas didn’t work and he had cirrhosis Now? He’s completely normal
